Chapter 2
Patch's eyes broke away from mine. I could feel his muscles tense up where he held me.
"Nora I would never…" Patch began but I cut him off before he could say anything more. "I know that," I spoke with a careful tone, "It was you-but it wasn't you. It was like something had possessed you, and it looked like you, but its eyes-" I couldn't finish, a shudder passed through my body. I felt his warm hand cup my cheek. His faced leaned down towards mine. I had just barely brushed my lips to his, when I realized he was gone, his strong arms no longer surrounding me. My mother strode through my door. Well that was close. I thought to myself. I'd had a lot of close calls lately. Only more concerning my life and it constantly being in danger. "Ever heard of knocking?" I asked, letting my annoyance drip into my voice.
"Well what would you be hiding?" My mother questioned me, eying the room suspiciously. "Nothing," I said a little too quickly, "I'd just appreciate if you'd respect my privacy a little bit more."
"Well this is not what I came to talk to you about. I'm leaving town again. I'll only be gone 2 days. I leave tomorrow morning." She mumbled averting her gaze to anything but my eyes. I felt as if she had slapped me across the face. Hard. After all that had just happened, after I had nearly been killed by Dabria's fit of jealousy, she chooses now to take a business trip? When I was feeling more vulnerable than ever? "Fine," I said emotionless. "Have a nice trip." I turned my back to her, hoping she would leave.
"I understand you're upset. But this is very important, and I just can't stay this time." She whispered. She bent down to kiss my cheek. I almost convinced myself that it physically stung. She padded over to the door, shutting it behind her. I sat motionless for a few moments until I reached my hand up to wipe her kiss from my cheek, I pulled my hand back to find it was damp. I sniffed loudly, and wiped the remaining tears away. "Patch?" I called out praying he was still here, that he had not left me as well. There was no reply. I was officially alone.
I leaned back onto my pillow, and shut my eyes. The feeling of warm finger tips on my cheek caused them to open. Patch was sitting beside me stroking my face. I allowed a small smile to pass through my wall of unhappiness. "You came back," I whispered. Only sort of Angel, he spoke to my thoughts. I looked at him in confusion. "You're dreaming Nora." He said aloud this time. I froze, worrying it would turn into another nightmare. He felt me tense, "Don't worry I'm controlling it". I let my muscles relax, I could ask him how it was possible later, right now I needed him- but not for talking. I stretched my hand up to run through his jet black locks. I pulled his face down to mine. When our lips met I had a hard time believing it was a dream. It felt so real. I pulled him down the rest of the way so he was lying parallel on top of me, supporting his wait on his elbows. "Angel…" he moaned against my mouth as I slid my hand under his shirt. His chest felt just as it did when I was awake. I trailed my fingers along his perfectly sculpted muscles. His mouth moved along my jaw and down to my neck. A small moan escaped my lips and I made fists to attempt to contain myself. Patch pulled away to look down at me, but the eyes that looked into mine were not his.
I froze. His fingers locked around my throat and began to reduce my air supply. A smile crept upon his lips, a smile that turned my insides around. "Patch please," I rasped, trying to breathe without success. Nora, he spoke to my thoughts it's not me. Someone's interfering with the dream, you have to wake up. WAKE UP! I screamed in my thoughts. WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP! My lungs ached from my lack of air, and Patch still had his fingers clasped around my neck. A dark chuckle escaped his lips, "What's wrong Angel?" He laughed mockingly. My vision blackened around the edges and then everything was gone. I was falling. My heart flew up into my throat, and I shrieked, bolting up right in bed. I gasped for air, breathing heavily. I surveyed the room, Patch nowhere in sight. I was awake. I sprang off the bed and ran to my phone. I hurriedly dialed Patch's number, swearing when I'd messed it up. He picked up on the second ring. "Nora are you alright?" his tone was panicked.
"I think so. It felt so real." I whispered feeling myself slip close to tears.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before. Stay where you are I'm coming to get you." And with that the line was dead.
